there seems to be
3 of Me.
1 Back There.
1 Out There.
and, 1 That Be.

problem is, you see,
the 1 That Be
keep's tryin' to be
Back There or Out There.
Any Where but where
He Be.

that makes Me
Not a He
but a We.
that's a problem
can't you see.

stayin' Here
where I am near
takes away the Fear.
takes away the Tear.

but, Back There
or Out There,
Any Where
but where I Be,
that's a problem
for All 3.
can't you See?
